Abstract:
... In this article, the breaking elongation properties of woven fabrics with incorporated PBT yarns are presented. Different polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) yarns (multifilament PBT yarn, cotton core yarn and twisted viscose yarn, both with PBT in the core) were used. Textured PBT yarns have latent elastic properties, which become visible after the thermal treatment by the finishing process. The aim ...

The study aims to reconstruct the Altai glaciers at the maximum of the LIA, to estimate the reduction of the Altai glaciers from the LIA maximum to the present, and to analyze glacier reduction rates on the example of the Tavan Bogd mountain range. Research was based on remote sensing and field data. The recent glaciation in the southern part of the Altai is estimated (1256 glaciers with the total ...

Abstract:
... Shajiang black soil (Vertisol) has a high shrinkage capacity and contains many calcareous concretions (CC). We assume the volume of CC to be rigid during wetting and drying cycles. Thus, the soil containing CC may have different shrinkage behavior from that of fine soils (without CC). We aimed to quantify the effects of CC content and size on soil shrinkage behavior, as well as to develop a model ...

Abstract:
... High virgin rock temperature represents one of the greatest bottlenecking constraints for waste tailings recycling in deep mines, and the unique geothermal environment associated with each particular mine calls for customized backfill operation. In this paper, a new fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical model is developed for cemented backfills by invoking basic conservation equations. In ...
shrinkage, etc ; Bayesian theory; assets; equations; system optimization; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... We study inference for parameters defined by either classical extremum estimators or Laplace-type estimators subject to general nonlinear constraints on the parameters. We show that running MCMC on the penalized version of the problem offers a computationally attractive alternative to solving the original constrained optimization problem. Bayesian credible intervals are asymptotically valid confid ...

Abstract:
... Desiccation-induced curling of mud layers on the earth surface is a ubiquitous natural phenomenon, as a result of mud-atmosphere interaction. Field observations reveal that the curling behaviors of muds were closely related to the overlying layer thickness and the basal layer condition. In order to interpret field observations, laboratory experiments were conducted on ten remolded mud samples with ...

Abstract:
... Shrinkage is a well‐documented defect in frozen desserts, yet the root causes and mechanisms remain unknown. Characterized by the loss of volume during storage, shrinkage arose during the mid‐twentieth century as production of frozen desserts grew to accommodate a larger market. Early research found that shrinkage was promoted by high protein, solids, and overrun, as well as postproduction factors ...

Abstract:
... Osmotic dehydration (OD) is a coupled mass transfer operation where foods are partially dewatered while simultaneously impregnated with solute from the solution. Nonetheless, water loss (WL) and solute gain (SG) are treated as independent processes for modeling purposes and the effect of their coupling on the estimation of water/solute diffusivities (Dw, Ds) and equilibrium dehydration/impregnatio ...

Abstract:
... Sonochemical oxidation activity may be significantly enhanced by optimizing the geometric factors of a sonoreactor and implementing additional physical actions, such as mechanical mixing and gas sparging. This study investigates the effects of liquid recirculation flow on sonochemical oxidation reactions. This was carried out through experimental testing with a 28 kHz bath-type sonoreactor under v ...

Abstract:
... It is well known that the metal atoms of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) exhibit significant activity in gas sensing. However, limited by the shielding effect of the outer oxygen atom layer, layered MoO₃ is often difficult to show ideal gas adsorption activity. Hence, the MoO₃ microporous nanoflowers (MPNFs) assembled by porous two-dimensional nanosheets were successfully synthesized and exhibited ...

Abstract:
... Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising precursors to prepare porous carbons due to their unique coordination structure with abundant pores and various chemical compositions. However, the structural collapse and pore shrinkage during pyrolysis severely decrease the surface area of the prepared porous carbons. Herein, we propose an inner support strategy to prepare MOF-derived car ...

Abstract:
... Thiol-ene and thiol-yne photomediated conjugations have received substantial attention in research and in practice. Herein is presented the photodisulfidation of alkenes based on the radical-mediated 1:1 reaction of a disulfide and a vinyl ether, which provides an additional route for the formation of the types of sulfides seen in thiol-ene and thiol-yne polymers. Although similar linkages are for ...

Abstract:
... Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membrane with high CO₂ separation performance were fabricated by pyrolysis of a novel hydroxyl-containing polyetherimide (BAHPPF-6FDA type HPEI) precursor. The thermal reactive ortho-OH group in HPEI resulted in the structural conversion when thermal treated at 450 °C, which simultaneously improved the chain rigidity and FFV of the precursor membrane. The structural ev ...

Abstract:
... Recent studies have discovered that surface-initiated activator regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) is an effective tool to maintain the dimensions of waterlogged archaeological wood (WAW). However, the polymer distribution behaviors in the WAW and the possible anti-shrinkage mechanism are still unclear and barely discussed. Therefore, experiments wit ...

Abstract:
... In this paper, a non-crossing sparse-group Lasso-quantile regression deep neural network (SGLQRDNN) model is proposed to address electricity load forecasting. Different from the traditional deep learning for point forecasting, the SGLQRDNN model realizes the probability density forecasting of the load. SGLQRDNN modelling integrates two strategies to alleviate the dilemma of quantile crossing and s ...
